The "fish doctor" in the ocean is a skilled doctor, who works hard and complains, cures the disease, and the remuneration is only the slag between the teeth of the big fish
Sea World is home to countless fish that can get sick too, what if they get sick? Don't be afraid, you can go to the "Fish Doctor".
▲ Fish in the ocean
What the? "Fish Doctor"? Please put your chin away, you read that right, it is "Fish Doctor". "Fish Doctor" is an ordinary little fish in the ocean, although it is small and does not look very impressive, but it can really be called "high medical skills, clever hands rejuvenation".
This common small fish, called split-lip fish, is a genus of split-lip fish in the family Cyprinidae of the family Spinosaurus. It is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region, including the Red Sea, East Africa, the Gulf of Oman, Mauritius, Maldives, Seychelles, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Christmas Island, Coco Islands and other places. Inhabiting coral reef areas, they have a unique ecological behavior that helps other large fish clean up parasites and is known as the "doctor fish" in marine ecosystems.

The "Fish Doctor" has a very unique way of treating sick fish, and all sick fish who come to receive treatment must be head down, tail up, and float straight in the water when they come to the doctor. If the throat is sick, then the sick fish has to obediently open its mouth and let the "fish doctor" burrow into the mouth and eat its necrotic tissue.
Some people may ask whether the sick fish will eat the "fish doctor". According to oceanographers, this kind of thing is not going to happen. Even if it encounters an enemy, the sick fish will not hastily swallow the "fish doctor" into the abdomen, but immediately take the "fish doctor" to a safe place and spit it out, and then come back to fight the enemy to the death, or avoid the enemy and escape. In short, the sick fish will never let the "fish doctor" be harmed. It can be seen that the "fish doctor" in fish is indispensable, as long as there is a "fish doctor", the sick fish can get timely treatment, and the phenomenon of disease and death is greatly reduced.

The clinic of "Fish Doctor" is always "business" prosperous, and even when there are too many sick fish, there will be a phenomenon of waiting in line. However, there are often scenes of scrambling and noisy. In this case, the "fish doctor" who has always liked to see a doctor quietly will also be angry, leave his hands dry, and hide in a quiet place. At this time, the sick fish often stopped it with a hush, and when they had no choice, the "fish doctor" had to start the treatment work again.
Speaking of which, some may doubt its authenticity. This is not surprising, and at first, the oceanographers were also quite confused, so they did one experiment after another. In order to confirm whether the fish disease was really cured by the "fish doctor", they caught the "fish doctor" in the waters where the "fish doctor" was often active, and as a result, the number of sick fish who went to seek medical treatment was greatly reduced. Even more surprising is that two weeks after the disappearance of The Fish Doctor, many fish in the waters contracted diseases, and some began to have abscesses on their scales, gills and fins. This is because fish are constantly eroded by microorganisms, bacteria and parasites, and can become sick at any time; in addition, fish are not so civilized, and fighting occurs from time to time, and once fighting, injuries are inevitable. Without a "fish doctor", the injuries and illnesses will not be treated in time, and they will worsen day by day, so that they will die, or infect each other and affect the pond fish. Since then, oceanographers have done such an experiment in experimental pools, with "fish doctors" in some fish ponds and "fish doctors" in others. It was found that in the pool with the "fish doctor", the fish were not sick, while in the pool without the "fish doctor", there were constant reports of the spread of the disease.

Marine biologists also tested the ingredients of the food swallowed by the "fish doctor", and found that the "fish doctor's" food was indeed a mixture of many parasites attached to the scales, fins, and gills of the fish, including many microorganisms that can make the fish sick, bacteria that make the wound inflamed and suppurative, and necrotic tissue. This once again shows that the "fish doctor" feeds on parasites and necrotic cells on sick fish.
Marine biologists have found over time that cleft lip fish are dedicated to the treatment of sick fish, and they often work day and night to "save lives and help the injured". Their "medical stations" are usually located next to coral reefs, rocks, waters with lush seagrasses or shipwrecks. The "Fish Doctor" treats the disease incredibly quickly. A marine biologist once observed the "fish doctor" in the water for 6 consecutive hours, and according to his statistics, a "fish doctor" treated 300 sick fish in these 6 hours. The medical skills of "Fish Doctor" are also very clever, through its medical skills, the sick fish will be cured within a few days, which can really be described as "the magic hand rejuvenates, the mouth to the disease is eliminated".
